ADT Motorcycle Training offers training for all categories of
motorcycle license including direct access, restricted licenses,
and further training.

Most of our training is conducted in set courses of 4-6 days,
with your tests on the final day. Individual lessons are also
available for those who wish to take things a little slower, please
contact us for more
info on these lessons. Please make sure you have passed, or
booked your motorcycle theory test before booking your course with
ADT.

Since January 2013 there are 2 main types of motorcycle
license:

A2: Restricted Motorcycle License (Restricted
Access)

This license is available for anybody 19 years of age, or over. In
order to obtain this license with ADT, you will take your test on
one of our 500cc machines. Providing you pass the tests at the end
of the course, you will then be given a license which will allow
you to ride any motorcycle up to a maximum of 46.6 bhp. There are
many models of bikes which fall under this power limit, and
any bikes which do not may be restricted to this power by a
motorcycle dealer.
For advice on which
bikes you can ride and where to restrict them, speak to our
knowledgeable team. Click here to contact us.

A:
Unrestricted Motorcycle License (Direct
Access)

This option is for anybody 24 or over. It is also available to
those who have held an A2 license for at least 2 years. In order to
gain this license with ADT, you will take your tests on a 650cc
machine. Providing you pass the test at the end of the course, you
will then be given a license which is unrestricted, and allows
you to ride any size machine. Depending on the length of your
course,you will begin your course on either a 125cc machine, or a
500cc, and will progress onto a 650cc machine when your
instructor decides you are ready.

There are also other categories of license, see the notes at
the bottom of the
page.

Our course options are as
follows:

4-day
course

The 4-day course is our most popular option. This
course is designed for those riders who already have a reasonable
amount of experience in riding a motorcycle with gears. An example
of a 4-day course candidate would be somebody who has
previously completed a CBT, and has been riding a 125
regularly for some time. This course would also suit somebody who
has some considerable off-road experience, especially on bikes
over 125cc.

5-day
course

The 5-day course is suited to somebody with
only basic experience in riding a geared motorcycle. This course
would be recommended to somebody who has only recently
completed a CBT. If you've had a successful ride on a friend's
bike, or ridden years ago, this course may suit you
also.

6-day
course

The 6-day course is designed for those who are
completely new to motorcycling. Starting with a CBT on a 125, the
course will progress onto a 500cc motorcycle when your
instructor feels you are ready, and then onto a 650 respectively
(where relevant).

Why choose ADT for your
course?

ADT have been conducting training for tests for
over 20 years, our experience has ensured a continually high
pass rate. We will teach you to ride safely, not just to
pass your test. Unlike other schools we will teach you how to
look at any given situation and decide how best to deal with it,
rather than riding robotically and treating every junction and
hazard in the same way. Have a look at our feedback on
facebook to
see the kind of reactions our customers have.

There are no hidden charges, we will not charge you an insurance
excess if you have any problems. We will not charge extra for
petrol or for bike hire.

Other categories of license are as follows:

AM (Moped license)

This test can be taken by anybody aged 16 or over. You will take
your tests on a moped (50cc). Providing you pass, you will be given
a license which will allow you to ride any vehicle up to 50cc,
providing it has a maximum speed of 28mph. This is our least
popular course, as a CBT will allow you to ride a vehicle up to
50cc, and up to 32mph (category p). An AM license however will
allow you to ride a moped without L-plates, and will allow you to
take a passenger.

A1 (125
License)

This test can be taken by anybody aged 17 or over. You will take
your tests on a 125cc machine. Providing you pass, you will
then be given a license which will allow you only to ride up to
125cc with a maximum power of 14.6bhp. Although this license
doesn't allow you to ride anything bigger than a CBT will, it does
last for the life of your license, you may use motorways, ride
without L-plates, and take a passenger.

Automatic
Licenses

All of the categories of full licenses detailed
on this page can be taken on automatic bikes. If you pass your
tests on an automatic machine, you will be resticted to an
automatic machine until you take any further tests. This
restriction is in conjunction with any other restrictions
placed on you license category.
